Burglar Alarms.

The easy and uudisturbing way 10
aich somo burglars walked into a
,antlemans house 10 Rockway on
'onday night. although six dogs
ere konnsled out side and one was
lside, makes the stndy OF nocturnal
Drotectiou very important.
The general idea OF the amount OF
.Totection furnished by eo-callsd
watch dogs is very erroneous. The
act is that ordinary dogs present no
srious obstacle to an experienced
burglar at all. But, altnongh, as q
rule, dogs are easily managed when
'ertain things are about house. a
burglar will try almost any other
before meddling with that one. As
5iven by an expert they are as fol-
lows in the order OF efficacy:
A baby.
A omall female dog within the
Iouse.
A female dog without tho house.
A light.
Thus it will be seen that q baby,
and the more immature and helpless
The better, it isl a better protector
to country house than its stslwart
father, for where there is q baby
there is sure to be a sleepless eye
Watching it. No more arg uncut in
favor Of matrimony could he bali 80

perception of Cold aud Heat.

It is well known that cold sensation
reaches consciousness more rapidly than
n sensation Of warmth. DR.. GoldSchcider,
of Berlin, whose researches on the hot and
cold points Of the skin have gained him q
well deserved reputation, has recently ac-
curately measured the length of the time
necessary TO perceive these sensations.
The observations were made on parts
equally sensitive to heat and cold, and
with intensities of heat and cold equally
different from the temperature of the part.
The time of contact was recorded electric
ally by means of n metallic button fixed
to the skin. Contact with n cold point
was felt on the face after 1875, on the arm
after Is, on the abdomen after 90, on the
knee after Is, llundrcdtls Of u second.
The sensation of hot point was felt on
the same surfaces after 49, %, 62 and 20
hundredths Of II second respectively. This
great difference in time has an important
theoretical bearing on the physiology Of
dermal sensations. .--sscience.

Progress of Invention.

Washington is headquarters for learn
ing about new inventions, but the patent
Office is the last place in the world to get
information of that sort. All they do
there is to patent things-it matters not
to the office whether they are useful,
will work as claimed or not That is the
inventors look out. Two novel inven-
tions have recently come to my notice.
One is machine for making iron pipes.
Heretofore n pipe of iron has been made
of a certain length of iron brought to-
gether and the edges fastened, leaving %
weld or seam the whole length. Obviously
it was only possibly to make pipes Of a
certain length in this fashion. Now q
machine has been invented which takes n
solid bar of iron, Of any length, and liter
ally turns it inside out, the pipe comes of
Just as a lady pulls long glove from her
arm. Two steel cones placed at an angle
bore inside the bar of iron, turning the
pipe back over third steel cone which
works on the outside of the bar. Is not
that wonderful? Iron, nowadays, is made
so soft it can be worked by machinery al
most as if it were putty.@ Another simple
machinery which does wonders il its line
is n pulveriZer. BY the action Of two
counter currents OF air anything placed
in the current is reduced TO impalpable
powder at once. A nail disappears in
dust as if it were a pu1f ball. The hardest
emory, heretofore so difficult TO grind,
yields as readily. Upon the strength of
the actual performance and utility Of this
machine, the stock in some emory mines
in Canada, heretofore not above BAR, has
now gone up to $3.50 shore. 1t IL sim
ply the power Of attrition which produces
these surprising results.
"A number Of the typograph machines
have been brought to Washington and set
up. If all that is claimed for these mar
chimes comes to be true, then the days Of
the compositor in large printing offices are
numbered. Fuller Walker in Kansas
City Journal.

one red nnh clnthed Genirs.

Several years ago n sensitive, unpracti-
cal poet, while dining with some literary
people in New York, called on his wife TO
help him remember the name of certain
wonderful mountain view in Switzerland.
''Switzerlandr' she exclaimed, 81 re-
member nothing about it, except that there
was but one inn there where you could
get chop fit to eat!''
There was much pity expressed after
ward by his friends for the poet who was
linked for life to so coarse and dull a
nature.
They did not know that the homely
little woman, by her constant drudgery
and tender care, fed and clothed this sem
sitive genius, and stood between him and
the rough world, giving him quiet and
leisure in which to sing his song Youths
Companion.

In Their summer Attire.

The Englishman and the Frcnohman
are nowhere more unlike than in their
behavior in summer. The Frenchman
loves TO look summer like If he is
obliged to remain in the city he will en-
deavor, by his attire, to practice upon his
imagination the innocent deception that
he is walking upon the yellow sands OF
the sea shore. lie wears straw hat, an
alpaca coat-not necessarily black, and
white trousers. Not unfrequently he
saunters over the burning asphalt in
sand shoes. He is practical philosopher,
for thorough change Of dress changes
the ideas il it does not change the air.
Englishmen are the direct opposite. They
arc rigidly formal in the matter of dress.
The typical Londoner and man OF busi-
ness, so long as he is in town. wraps him-
self up in his frock coat although the
dog star may be raging and the heat has
changed him TO the color of boiled lob
ster. When he is on duty he Is afraid to
appear before the world in free and easy
garb, lest he should be suspected of being
giddy and frivolous He has his notions,
however, of comfortable clothing in sum-
mer, and he frequently indulges them
when he goes abroad. His appearance on
the boulcvards often astounds the Parix
sian. When abroad, at the OPERA at dim
ners and similar occasions, he loves to
show his superiority TO all rules and hor-
rify the natives by his neglige.

The story Of Maracaibo's christening
runs thus: IT was almost 400 years ago,
when Spanish invaders came sailing up
the lake TO see what stores Of gold OF
precious stones might be plundered from
the rulers of its shores, and found where
the city now is native town called Co
guivacca, governed by powerful chief
named Mara, who resented the coming Of
foreigners with fierce warfare and many
battles. But mail clad soldiers were more
than match for naked Indians, and one
by one the villages succumbed, until the
last one only remained. A determined
stand was made here, and in the heat Of
battle the chieftain fell. Seeing his death
a Spanish soldier raised cry of victory
that resounded throughout the attacking
force, Mara cayol Mara cayol Mara
has fallen.' And around the spot where
Mara fen, the fair town has grown that
perpetuates his name.--Dr. w. f. Hutch
inson In The American Magazine.
